Elizabeth Gilbert Mourns Death of Partner Rayya Elias
Elizabeth Gilbert – the author best known for the book Eat, Pray, Love – has shared a moving message on Instagram in memory of her partner, Rayya Ellis.
The 57-year old tragically passed away this week.
Along with the following photo of Ellis playing guitar, Gilbert wrote the following.
(We’ll just quote her word for word, in its entirety, out of respect.)
She was my love, my heart, my best friend, my teacher, my rebel, my angel, my protector, my challenger, my partner, my muse, my wizard, my surprise, my gift, my comet, my liberator, my rock star, my completely impossible non-cooperator, my otherworldly visitor, my spiritual portal, and my baby.
I loved you so much, Rayya. Thank you for letting me walk with you right to the edge of the river.
It has been the greatest honor of my life. I would tell you to rest in peace, but I know that you always found peace boring. May you rest in excitement.
I will always love you.
Gilbert went public with her relationship with Elias in September of 2016 … after Elias was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer, the latter of which is an incurable disease.
The happy and sad news came a few months after Gilbert split from her husband, Jose Nunes, whom she famously wrote about in her bestselling book, Eat Pray Love.
It was the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, who went off in search of answers.
Each chapter was divided into sections; about food, about religion and, at last, about romance.
The memoir was turned into a hit movie that starred Julia Roberts as Gilbert.
On New Year’s Day, Gilbert posted a pictre of the couple embracing in front of a fireplace.
“Happy New Year, everyone. You made it. We made it. Blessed be. #2018,” she wrote as a caption.
In June, meanwhile, Gilbert and Elias shared a “ceremony of love,” which Gilbert explained wasn’t legally binding, but which she described as “just a private celebration of what we have long known to be true: We belong to each other.”
She added this past summer:
More difficult days are to come. It doesn’t get easier from here. Her illness is grave. But our love is strong. We will walk together as far as we can go together.
After that, it all gets turned over to God. Create beauty with every day you are given.
May Elias rest in peace.

Ewan McGregor Splits From Wife Amidst Rumors of Mary Elizabeth Winstead Affair
Fiction has allegedly met reality for Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Much to the chagrin of the former’s wife.
According to various reports, McGregor separated from his wife of 22 years, Eve Mavrakis, after news broke that there were photos of him making out with his former Fargo co-star.
The couple split back in May.
On Sunday morning, images of McGregor and Winstead were published in The Sun, with the scandalous snapshots depicting the actor and the actress kissing at a West London cafe.
The stars were later spotted leaving on a motorbike… together.
“They were deep in conversation and were there together for more than an hour,” a witness told the publication, adding:
“As they left she got on to the back of Ewan’s motorbike and they sped off together.”
There’s really no mistaking what’s taking place in these newspaper photos.
Some major spit is being swapped.
On Fargo Season 3, McGregor played the dual roles of twin brothers Emmit Stussy and Ray Stussy.
Winstead, considering by most to be the breakout star of the season portrayed Ray’s girlfriend, Nikki Swango.
Back in May, around the same time McGregor and Mavrakis broke up, Winstead announced on Instagram that she was leaving her husband, Riley Stearns.
No one thought too much about it at the time.
Let’s be honest after all: Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are not typically major focuses of the celebrity gossip world.
But the rumor mill is now spinning quickly due to the sordid nature of this news.
“We have spent our lives together and it has been full of joy and warmth every day,” Winstead wrote upon confirming she and her husband were going their separated ways this past spring.
She added:
“We’ve decided to move on from our marriage, but we will stay best friends and collaborators for all our days. We are still ride or die, just in a different way now.”
McGregor and Mavrakis, a production designer, met on the set of the British TV show “Kavanagh QC” in 1995 and wed later that year.
They have four children together.
Neither the actor nor the actress have commented on chatter about their romance or their failed marriages.
We’ll update this story with quotes if either side does speak out.

Royals Urged to "Prepare" For Death of Queen Elizabeth II, Sources Claim
In April, Queen Elizabeth II turned 91 years old.
With 65 years on the throne, she’s one of the longest-reigning monarchs in recorded history, and she remains beloved across the globe thanks to her tireless humanitarian efforts and refreshingly no-nonsense attitude.
Sadly, if a new report is to be believed, the Queen’s health is failing, and her loved ones have been cautioned that she may be nearing the end.
Several media outlets are reporting today that the Queen’s private secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt, has advised her family to pack black clothing for any upcoming travel, as they may need to dress in appropriate mourning attire in the weeks to come.
There’s been no official word from Buckingham Palace, but it’s believed that the Queen is in failing health and being treated at home.
Thus far, there’s been no change in the Queen’s appearance schedule, but she’s been booking far fewer official engagements in recent years due to her advanced age.
Earlier this year, the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, retired from public life at the age of 96.
Obviously, the Queen will be mourned throughout the world when she passes, but in some circles, talk has already turned to the matter of succession.
As Elizabeth’s eldest son, Prince Charles is next in line for the throne.
At the age of 68, he’s the oldest heir apparent for the British crown in over 200 years.
Since no royal engagements have been canceled, it seems the Queen isn’t yet on her deathbed, but the news that her her children and grandchildren have been warned to prepare for the worst is certainly discouraging.
Of course, until that report is confirmed by palace officials, it will remain mere speculation.
Reports of the Queen’s failing health have surfaced on several occasions in the past, and while there may have been genuine cause for concern, she’s persevered each time.
Thus far, representatives for the Royals have declined to comment.
Our thoughts go out to the Queen and her loved ones during what appears to be a tremendously difficult time.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Man With Knife Arrested After Approaching Elizabeth Smart
Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped at just 14-years-old, but she was put through another scary incident earlier this week.
A man named Claude Hudson was spotted the Elizabeth Smart Speaker Series at ISU on Monday. That’s where he allegedly attacked Indiana State University officer.
The officer noticed the 80-year-old playing with a knife. The odd thing about it was that he was playing with the knife while staring at Smart.
Hudson allegedly hid the knife in his pocket, before making his way over to Smart.
The officer approached Hudson about his strange behavior, but then Hudson apparently snapped and attacked the officer.
Hudson was then picked up with an arrest warrant and appeared on court Wednesday morning.
It was revealed that Hudson had a history of arrests California, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada and Tennessee.
Additionally, he was convicted of attempted murder back in 1991.
There’s said to be no connection between Hudson and Smart.
This is such a horrible incident to report on, but it’s pretty great how the officer managed to diffuse the situation pretty quickly.
There’s no telling what might have have happened if nobody noticed Hudson’s erratic behavior.
Elizabeth’s spokesperson revealed in a statement that she is “is grateful for law enforcement and Indiana State University’s quick response and that the event and her work continued undeterred.”
Elizabeth was abducted from her home in 2002 and rescued by police nine months later.
Ever since, Elizabeth has been vocal about the ordeal she went through and has tried to raise awareness on abduction.
Her speech earlier this week was about overcoming adversity.
What do you think about all of this?
Sound off below!

Queen Elizabeth II: Health Concerns Arise After Monarch Misses Royal Engagement
Last month, Queen Elizabeth II postponed her annual holiday train voyage to Sandringham Hall due to illness.
The Queen and Prince Philip made the trip by helicopter 24 hours later, and the delay was downplayed by royal sources who claimed that the monarch was simply waylaid by a bad cold.
But now it seems the Queen’s illness may be more serious than we’ve been led to believe.
The 90-year-old was scheduled to participate in her final royal engagement of the holiday season on Sunday – a church service at Sandringham – but she wasn’t feeling well enough to attend.
“Her Majesty The Queen will not attend Sunday worship at Sandringham today,” a statement from Buckingham Palace released yesterday read.
“The Queen does not yet feel ready to attend church as she is still recuperating from a heavy cold.”
A Palace spokesperson later went into slightly greater detail in response to a query from People magazine:
“Her Majesty The Queen will not attend Church at Sandringham this morning,” the statement read.
“The Queen continues to recover from a heavy cold and will stay indoors to assist with her recovery. Her Majesty will participate in the Royal Family Christmas celebrations during the day.”
The Queen has not made an official public appearance since December 9, when she hosted the ambassador of Liberia.
While Palace officials continue to insist there’s no cause for concern, at 90 there’s no such thing as a minor health problem.
Anyone who’s looked at last year’s list of royal engagements knows that the Queen keeps an incredibly busy schedule and very rarely cancels appearances.
Perhaps that hectic lifestyle has simply caught up to her.
Or perhaps there’s reason to be worried about the world’s longest-reigning autocrat.
Just last week, the Queen was the subject of a viral death hoax on Twitter, which prompted thousands of re-tweets and one harried denial from the Palace.
Sources close to the royal family say 95-year-old Prince Philip has also taken ill.
We will have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat Pray Love Author Leaves Husband For Best Friend
We did not see this one coming.
Elizabeth Gilbert, she who has been blessed by Oprah and inspired every girl in her 20’s to customize an Eat Pray Love vacation of their own, has followed her happiness and fallen in love with her best friend, Rayya Elias.
Back in July, Gilbert confirmed that she and husband Jose Nunes – whom she famously met in Bali during the “Love” section of her best-selling book, Eat Pray Love – were separating.
At the time, Gilbert chose not to reveal the reasons behind the couple’s split, but today the world-famous author wrote a note to her fans on Facebook, admitting that she has fallen for Elias, who was diagnosed with cancer this past spring.
Dear Ones – There is something I wish to tell you today — something which I hope and trust you will receive with grace. This spring, I received news that would change my life forever. My best friend Rayya Elias was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer — a disease for which there is no cure.
In the moment I first learned of Rayya’s diagnosis, a trap door opened at the bottom of my heart (a trap door I didn’t even know was there) and my entire existence fell straight through that door.
From that moment forward, everything became about HER. I cancelled everything in my life that could be cancelled, and I went straight to her side, where I have been ever since.
Something happened to my heart and mind in the days and weeks following Rayya’s diagnosis. Death — or the prospect of death — has a way of clearing away everything that is not real, and in that space of stark and utter realness, I was faced with this truth: I do not merely love Rayya; I am in love with Rayya. And I have no more time for denying that truth.
The thought of someday sitting in a hospital room with her, holding her hand and watching her slide away, without ever having let her (or myself!) know the extent of my true feelings for her…well, that thought was unthinkable. Here is the thing about truth: Once you see it, you cannot un-see it.
So that truth, once it came to my heart’s attention, could not be ignored. But what to do with this potentially life-shattering truth?
Now let me tell you something I’ve learned from Rayya, over the fifteen years of our friendship. She is the most brave and honest person I know, and she has taught me more about courage and honesty than anyone I have ever met.
Here is her mantra on truth, which I’ve heard her express so many times over the years, in so many difficult situations: “The truth has legs; it always stands. When everything else in the room has blown up or dissolved away, the only thing left standing will always be the truth. Since that’s where you’re gonna end up anyway, you might as well just start there.”
So. Here is where we stand now: Rayya and I are together. I love her, and she loves me. I’m walking through this cancer journey with her, not only as her friend, but as her partner. I am exactly where I need to be — the only place I can be.
Gilbert gently encouraged her fans not to send tips/stories/remedies for Elias’ cancer, because they have been overwhelmed by information in the past months.
Instead, Gilbert requested that people send “whatever extra love” that’s being carried around in their hearts.
“It will be felt,” she wrote. “And it will help. We will resonate with it, and we will thank you for it.”

Elizabeth Banks Mocks Donald Trump: He Stole My Hunger Games Entrance!
Last night, history was made. But that didn"t stop the crown inside the 2016 Democratic National Convention from having a little fun.
While Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. buried themselves at the RNC, the very opposite happened to the celebs who were invited to speak last night.
Elizabeth Banks made her mark last night when she took the stage, mimicking Trump"s over-the-top entrance with hand gestures and a slow, deliberate walk as Queen"s "We Are The Champions" played.
It was awesome.
“Some of you know me from ‘The Hunger Games,’ in which I play Effie Trinket ― a cruel, out-of-touch reality TV star who wears insane wigs while delivering long-winded speeches to a violent dystopia,” Banks told the crowd.
“So when I tuned in to Cleveland last week, I was like, ‘Uh, hey ― that’s my act!’”
It was nothing short of brilliant. Banks had nearly every one of Trump"s obnoxious moves down, to the point where it even made the GOP nominee speechless.
Well, speechless in the sense that he didn"t directly address it in one of his many tweets about last night. He did, however, manager to insult the convention overall, like any grown-up running for president would do.
"I hate to say it, but the Republican Convention was far more interesting (with a much more beautiful set) than the Democratic Convention!" Trump tweeted.
"The Democratic Convention has paid ZERO respect to the great police and law enforcement professionals of our country. No recognition – SAD!" he also posted, as Banks shared a selfie with two Philadelphia police officers on the social media platform.
Lena Dunham, America Ferrara, Meryl Streep were only a few big names to publicly throw their support behind Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee and the first woman to ever be nominated for president.

Prince Harry Flirts With Swimmer Elizabeth Marks at Invictus Games: Is It Love???
Whether he likes it or not, everyone is always on royal wife watch on Prince Harry’s behalf.
If he so much as speaks to a girl, it’s automatically assumed they’re dating.
Last week, Harry admitted that finding love has been nothing short of a challenge.
“If or when I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost . . . to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we’re actually comfortable with each other before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy,” the prince told the Sunday Times.
“The other concern is that even if I talk to a girl, that person is then suddenly my wife, and people go knocking on her door.”
On May 11th, Harry awarded Sgt. Elizabeth Marks, 25, with a gold medal after she won the 100m freestyle at the 2016 Invictus Games
Marks, who People confirms is married, gave the medal back to the prince, asking him to give it to Papworth Hospital in England, where doctors saved her life in 2014.
In September of that year, shortly before the start of the first Invictus Games in London, Marks all of a sudden was struck with a lung condtion so serious that doctors had to put her in a medically induced coma.
“I landed in London and became very ill very rapidly, I was in hospital in London and went into respiratory distress syndrome, they shipped a team down from Papworth who put me on to ECMO [extracorporeal membrane oxygenation] life support and that ultimately saved my life,” Marks told reporters at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando, FL.
“And when they did so I was on it for 10 days and ended up waking in an army hospital in Germany having no idea what had happened.
“But they absolutely saved my life and I can’t thank the UK enough for having that kind of medical support and taking such good care of me.”
So, Marks explained, she decided to give Harry one of the medals she’s won at the games in the hopes that it will find its way back to Papworth.”
Marks, who has served in the Army since she was 17, injured her hip in 2010, leaving her with no sensation in her left leg.
Fortunately, the Arizona native was able to regain her strength and still serves in the military.
